Law Firm Employees Are The Weakest Data Security Link

The Data Report Episode 13: We Are the Weakest Link | Bilzin Sumberg - JDSupra. Jay Ward has a great data security podcast for lawyers, and I like the fact that he publishes it in ten minute bites of audio. Long podcasts are generally not listened to much, because most of us have busy lives, and spending an hour listening to colleagues talking about law are generally not on our top ten list of ways to spend the day. This little bite is about phishing and spoofing, which are hacking methods that take advantage of the biggest risk in your law firm; employee lack of knowledge and awareness. This used to be called social engineering, which is another way of saying that many employees are, to be kind, security unaware. So, get with the weak links in your system, and teach them about this stuff. They need to know it, for your protections. Be careful out there.
